  • Supply Corps Senior Leadership
    JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2017 Supply Corps Senior Leadership Happy New Year! As we begin 2017, I am optimistic that we will build on the many successes of 2016, and that we are well-positioned as a community to meet the challenges and leverage the opportunities ahead of us. One of the ways in which we are so well-posi- tioned is the strength of our team, and it is my pleasure to introduce our new Command Master Chief, Thaddeus T. Wright, who joined NAVSUP on November 2, 2016. Master A Message from the Chief Wright brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the command and the Chief of Supply Corps enlisted community, as well as a fresh, new perspective to the NAVSUP team. This edition of the Supply Corps Newsletter features articles from the Supply Corps Senior Leadership Symposium held in Leesburg, Virginia, in November 2016. Flag Officers, Senior Executive Service members, Captains, and Captain-selects met to review the current state of our community, explore key initiatives, and prepare for 2017 and beyond. Topics such as our alignment with the Navy’s Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority, how we plan and execute in support of the full range of military operations, the role of mentor- ship in our community, and the increasing scope of our expeditionary support, highlight not only how our supply community is evolving, but also how our mission of providing world class supplies, services, and quality of life support to the warfighter is ever-enduring. Whether you are or may one day be part of our Reserve Component or FTS Supply Corps team, I encourage you to attend the upcoming National RC Supply Corps Sympo- sium in Dallas, Texas, May 20 and 21.

  • US Navy Supply Corps
    SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 SUPPOs Supplying the Fight A Message from the Chief of Supply Corps Recognizing the central importance of supply to establishing the Navy, President George Washington laid the foundation for the U.S. Navy Supply Corps in 1775 with the appointment of Tench Francis, a Philadelphia businessman, as the country’s first Purveyor of Public Supplies. Francis provided vital support to the first Navy ships, and started our tradition of selfless service. The Navy’s trusted providers of supplies, our supply officers (SUPPOs) keep operations running smoothly to support the mission. But they can’t do it alone. Working as a team with their skilled and experienced enlisted members, our SUPPOs are experts in our field who know inventory and financial management, food, retail, postal operations, and disbursing management. They are leaders and problem solvers who tackle complex challenges to implement effective and efficient management solutions, ensuring our customers’ needs are met. To be “Ready for Sea,” we must be professionally ready with the skills to operate in all our lines of operation. We also need character readiness, demonstrated by our integrity, accountabili- ty, initiative, and toughness. Lastly, we need to be individually ready; to be fit, healthy, and ready to meet the demands of the fight. This issue provides insights from our SUPPOs’ important work as they meet the unique needs of their various commands. Like the pursuers and paymasters who have gone before, SUPPOs uphold our rich heritage, and embrace their responsibilities to support the warfighter with a servant’s heart. Our SUPPO’s success depends on their character and competence, knowledge of the shore infrastructure, relationships with our professional civilian workforce, and on the enlisted members they lead and serve with.

Changes in Leadership Theory ABSTRACT CHANGES IN NAVY LEADERSHIP THEORY AND PRACTICE: POST-VIETNAM Since the Vietnam War, Navy leadership theory and practice has changed, becoming more like current civilian leadership theory and practice than traditional military leadership of old. Indicators of this alteration have been seen in journal writings, the new Navy performance evaluation structure, current Navy leadership training, and by the birth of a Navy Command Leadership School. This study was designed to explore the evolution and recent history of the Navy’s leadership theory and practice for indications of change.

  • Winter 2019 a Message from the Chief of Supply Corps
    Winter 2019 A Message from the Chief of Supply Corps During the first six months as Commander, NAVSUP and 48th Chief of Supply Corps, I have witnessed the hard work our team of dedicated NAVSUP Enterprise professionals, the Navy Supply Corps, and our supply community perform day in and day out. Your commitment, respect and integrity create the culture necessary to effectively serve the fleet and improve warfighter readiness and sustainment. Based on our productive dialogue during the NAVSUP Commander’s Conference and Supply Corps Senior Leader Symposium, I am confident we have the right people, teams and talent positioned globally to support our supply mission and meet the logistics challenges inherent in today’s strategic environment. We must continue to effectively communicate and leverage our global network of experts to consistently provide logistics and sustainment solutions with an unprecedented sense of urgency. This issue of “The Navy Supply Corps Newsletter” features articles on NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk’s and NAVSUP FLC Sigonella’s dynamic force employment support in the 6th Fleet area of responsibility, an update on NAVSUP reform efforts, and the second excerpt from Rear Adm. Peter Stamatopoulos’ “Maritime Logistics in a Changing Strategic Environment.” In December, the CNO released “A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority 2.0,” a document we must all be familiar with and use to guide our actions. We stand at a critical juncture as our Nation and Navy posture for great power competition. Not since the close of World War II have we placed the emphasis on campaign logistics that we are placing on it today.

  • Fall 2018 a Message from the Chief of Supply Corps
    Fall 2018 A Message from the Chief of Supply Corps It is a humbling honor to serve as Commander, NAVSUP and 48th Chief of Supply Corps. I am eager to work with our team of dedicated professionals in the NAVSUP Enterprise, the Navy Supply Corps, and our supply community. Together, we will continue the hard work of those who have gone before to ensure our logistics community effectively serves the fleet and improves warfighter readiness and sustainment. As we work to build the Navy the Nation needs, NAVSUP has a key role in supporting improved readiness, and enduring sustainment of our military might. Our focus remains on the fleet, from the Sailors at sea and all others in harm’s way, to ensuring we enable success in operations and effective combat engagements. We owe this to our warfighters. The changing character of the competition means we must be ready to fight tonight–that is our mandate–that is our imperative. Priorities we will continue to emphasize are taking care of our people, improving fleet readiness, continuing NAVSUP’s reform efforts, and making progress on audit. We are increasing the speed of support and are rallying with other key players in Navy sustainment, collaborating end-to- end to achieve the right outcome for our fleet. NAVSUP and the Supply Corps will bolster our integration role with the Navy’s key readiness and modernization drivers – the shipyards and fleet readiness centers – from material planning to order fulfillment, and everything in between, to better support force generation that is lethal, reliable and timely.
